@Derpkips31415 Sorry I don't have the time at the moment to be working on maps, but thanks. :)

[3NickJrProductions]

[Serelenntidude]

hod do i get it?

[appleobsessed1]

Alright, I will help you make the wake-up bed thing, if you teach me how to make the glass outlined with the concrete or plastic or whatever it was. Deal? :)

[koolkid8141]

WHERE ARE YOU TAKING THAT THING?!??!?!?!

[MultiGamer74]

At 2:20 Glados shocked me O_O

[kardel3]

stupid fake this is the original portal maps

[TheBigLT]

@kardel3 This is certainly not fake or anything like the original maps! Did you even watch the video past 1:20?

[xXAliceTheAlmightyXx]

how do u make a door? the circular 1?



[000MaLuCo000]

Really impressive! For the record, there's a way of making her wake up from her bed properly. Very simple, actually.

[TheBigLT]

@000MaLuCo000 Yeh it's something to do with using a camera move entity, I just never got round to getting it done, or getting round to finishing the map unfortuneately, if I had the time i'd get back to it.

[Xxshadow100xX]

Im getting this when it comes out

[xXAliceTheAlmightyXx]

[mspeter97]

[n0b0dy241]

[ATOMICGAMER536]

how do u use the editor..sorry im a kid and im new at this

[TheBigLT]

@ATOMICGAMER536 There's plenty of tutorials around on the net and even on here, you can also check out the Valve Developer Community website for more.

[LeeLaz2008]

2:42 Nice touch with the elevator *ding*

[mees462]

Nice job fellow mapper :D

[mostaffa100]

NO!!! the radio :'(

[syoutubnerd]

awsome map

[FinnishGuy101]

holy shit glados just earraped me O_O

[TechChris22]

WHOA! which map editor are you using???

[TheBigLT]

@TechChris22 Hammer.

[theyoungster2]

@TechChris22 uuh, you're SUPPOSED to use hammer, IDK what other level editor you could possibly use... besides the in-game one.

[TheBigLT]

@ZavCoyote No, you have all the parts but have to constuct them from scratch. I just used tutorials from the Valve Developer Community website to help me. You can get them pre-made, just search for Portal Prefabs in Google.

[Snoops6]

01 was rather clever.

[TheMourningPalace]

@Snoops6 ye it looks cool, but it is the most basic chamber in portal..

[TheBigLT]

@Snailman4 It is almost exactly the same room, i did construct it from scratch and not just mod the original done by Valve. I wanted to give the impression that it was just another area of Aperture for a different test subject but keep everything fairly uniform as shown by the elevators for example. Also it was the first room that i constructed for the map, so logically i then had plenty of reference from the original game to work with and then simply just expand from there.

[boneheadproductions1]

Do you just use Source SDK to mod the maps?

[TheBigLT]

@boneheadproductions1 I did yes, although Hammer is the only program i used to make the map.

[MrBobbl]

how can i make the 15000 Megawatt Aperture Science Heavy Duty Super Colliding super button?

[TheBigLT]

@MrBobbl There's a tutorial on the Valve Developer Community website.

[MrBobbl]

@TheBigLT ok thx :)

[jamiroleander]

could you upload hammer? or source sdk? steam doesn't unlock source sdk for me???

[JayedPSkier]

I have a question....

I'm a starter with Portal Maps and I wanted to know the texture people use for the frames of glass and the texture for glass.

I also want to know exactly how to make a Fizzler? The wiki doesn't expain what textures to use on the particle parts..

[TheBigLT]

@JayedPSkier I Can't remember the texture names but they should be in your Portal textures library on Hammer.

For the particle texture for the Fizzler you have to use an info_particle_system entity, you can choose from either portal_cleanser or Cleanser_edge_1.

[i4fool]

What is at 3:16 name of the water texture ?

[TheBigLT]

I can't remember the actual name of the water texture used in Portal, but you will find it under the textures library in Hammer.

[i4fool]

tank you very much :D

[TheBigLT]

Actually i think it's called hazard_liquid.

[i4fool]

ok tanks

[gmanhaxor]

cool

[lpsp2]

VALVE is the best game creator!

[aieownyou]

agreed

[TheChannelOfGmod]

@lpsp2 Not just best.EPIC. :D i love portal,half life:source,half-life 2,left 4 dead,left 4 dead 2,and alot more games made by valve :D-

[GLaDoSable]

This should be the test chambers for Portal , not the ones now.

[JoshOwnsYourBody]

wat game is this ?

[TheBigLT]

Portal

[justus954]

you used chore scene or env message to glados speak? env_message is easier :D for meeeh

[TheBigLT]

I used logic_choreographed_scene entities for her really long lines of speech, e.g. her speech when the map starts or when you enter a test chamber, and ambient_generic entities for her very short lines of speech, e.g. when you take the radio or destroy a weighted storage cube.

I only used the env_message entity when you find the secret (part 2 vid).

[justus954]

oh :) i cant use choreo_scenes :< but i figured how use message thingys

[4410001tahw]

I'm ITCHING with curiousity. What happens in the pit?

[TheBigLT]

Nothing special lol, the test ends and you end up in a holding cell where u have to get out and then get to explore the other areas of the facility.

I have done a small part of this branching line of the story, i may upload a short playthrough of it, but i really should get back to mapping, haven't done anything for months lol.

[what1000144]

I have a RASH of curiousity now. I love this map so much just by seeing it. I wanna see what it's like in gameplay, not just watching. Seriously, this rash is HUGE. So...many...questions...

[Stimich]

I've never actually made a radio before that is a prop_physic, it never showes up in-game ... help?

[TheBigLT]

Use a prop_physics_override instead and it should work fine.

[Stimich]

thank you :)

[Stimich]

new problem.. how to parent the ambient_generic to the radio? D:

[TheBigLT]

Under the ambient_generic's keyvalues set the SourceEntityName to the targetname of the radio prop.

[Stimich]

thank you again... xd

[Exzmo]

You made a new portal.

[TheBigLT]

Well yes and no, i started out with the idea of making a full game with roughly the same amount of play time as the original Portal, but i've had very little time to do any work on it the last few months so it's currently at a standstill.

If you haven't heard of or already played Portal: Prelude however, then i suggest you take a look at that (only available for PC though), i thought as a run up to the original Portal game it was very good and also quite a challenge.

[Exzmo]

Portal 2

[andytalent11]

cool. did you make this map with hammer? if yes, i have a question: How did you get this pipe where the companion cube comes out? when i do prop_static i doesnt see the pipe in game. pls answer me quick ^.^

[TheBigLT]

You have to use a prop_dynamic instead. For tutorials on how to create Portal entities & maps have a look on the Valve Developer Community web site.

[andytalent11]

thank you very much! greetz, andytalent.

[Obanisty78]

cool map
